Built with CX Ray Spokes: Williams System 22, 25, 31, 38, 45, 58, 85

The
Sapim CX-Ray spoke is widely considered to be the premium aerodynamic spoke
available today. With fatigue testing regularly giving them the highest possible
marks, their unique strength and flexibility make the CX-Ray ubiquitous in
high-end road wheels.

Built with D-Light Spokes: Williams System 35, CYCLO-CROSS

The needs of top quality MTB wheels are:

Maximum strength

Minimum weight

Reasonable prices

Disc brake approval

Suitability for production line builds

Easy wheel building by hand

The short 2mm section of the d-Light reduces weight especially on the
threaded side. The 2mm section starts just at the beginning of the
thread. Therefore, the rotating masses at the end of the spoke are
especially reduced. This brings benefits to both the acceleration and
braking qualities of the wheel. The use of 14G nipples offers a wide
variety of combinations.
The middle section is increased to 1,65mm, which makes the spoke much
stiffer and brings less torsion during truing than a 1,5mm middle
section. This results in an easier building process of the wheels.
